yeah will take it for a ride. was just a thought, as I know of other people who have done it and reckoned it worked 'sweet as', but thought I would check it first, in case I fucked a$300 tyre, which to me, is a small fucking fortune!

+1I was recently told (at a Puke' trackday) to wipe CRC 'brake clean' all over the tread and wipe dry with a second cloth.....
I use "Wurth" brake cleaner in this fashion,and yer good to go!

Scrubbing in tyres - YAY! Good fun on a motard...
The motard mantra - less is more - also holds true in this regard, not just in regards to weight, cylinders, gauges, bells and whistles...
Less grip is more fun
Alas the fun lasts less than 10 km in this way
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

I bought new Bridgestone Battleaxes for my beast and rode straight away, gently at first with the odd zig zag on a straight road, riding harder as a went along. Had no issues with them at all. I ride alot in the wet (often pissing-down-wet) and they are magic.

Dont keep one bike for long enough to wear the tyre down. I had a habbit of getting a bike, playing woth ot for 6 months, then flicking it off. I guess shredding tyres all the time is the price you pay for having a ZX10, you lucky bastard!!!

I kind of think this weaving sandpaper braking etc stuff is unwarranted. I've scrubbed in heaps of tyres. I just ride out and ride normally. I wouldn't cane it through the first few corners but tyres nowadays are much different to a few years back.
Having said that there is the youtube vid of the guy on the new Suzuki who gives the brand new bike a handful and loses it in the parking lot. The bike doesn't even make the street.
Putting it in gear on the centre stand is risky and again there is a recent post on this.
